Kuala Lumpur will host the Airport Cities World Conference and Exhibition in 2014. Malaysia is a perfect host for this event as it is already well underway implementing its own "Aeropolis" project.
LONDON – UBM Live, organiser of the Airport Cities World Conference and Exhibition (ACE) has announced that next year’s event will take place in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia from March 31-April 2, 2014.
Malaysia Airports Holding Berhad, the operator of Kuala Lumpur International Airport, will be the official host of ACE 2014 adding its name to the list of major international airports that have hosted the Airport Cities conference since 2002.
Malaysia is a perfect host for this event as it is already well underway implementing its own “Aeropolis” project.
With more than 22,000 acres of land at its disposal to create a successful and viable world-class airport city, just over one quarter (6,000 acres) has already been developed for runways, the main terminal building (MTB), satellite and low-cost carrier terminals, cargo and other support facilities.
Located at the heart of Asia, Malaysia as a country is strategically and financially positioned at the centre of regional networks.
Tan Sri Bashir Ahmad, managing director of Malaysia Airports, said: “We must ensure that the KLIA Aeropolis development plan is optimised to maximise Malaysia’s unique position as a regional leader in retail, business and tourism destination. “The unprecedented congestion around most of KLIA’s neighbouring capital city has fuelled unparalleled interest and demand in KLIA Aeropolis Master Plan.”
